  3. This caught my eye on LWSL Thrifty Thursday. Chocolate and gingerbread are two ingredients you don’t see together very often. I’m not much of a baker but I’ll definitely be trying this recipe. Thanks a bunch!

  7. These are absolutely perfection. It’s the perfect cookie bar. Chocolate + gingerbread is definitely winning, add in the fact that it’s a cookie in a bar, just yes. YES! Thanks for sharing the recipe and linking up to Thrifty Thursday.
